Part 1
考官
Do you like reading?
考生
Yes, I enjoy reading, especially now it's written in single language. In my free time, I go through books while laying on my bed because it helps me relax.
考官
Do you prefer to read on paper or on a screen?
考生
I would go with physical books because I like to have something physical rather than spending time on a digital screen. I find it comfortable and helps me to stay focused on the books.
考官
When do you need to read carefully, and when not?
考生
Usually I go through books carefully when if there's something important, especially for when I'm studying for exams, I go through the content with the focus and care. But uh, instead when it's something like a storybook or a novel, I like to.
考官
Do you prefer scanning or detailed reading?
考生
It depends on the situation. For example, uh, when it's an advisement to order a newspaper, I like to skim through the content and if I find something important and or interesting, I like to read it in detail.
Do you like reading?
分數: 72.0建議: Be more natural and precise: start with a clear topic sentence, avoid awkward phrasing and / or grammar mistakes, and keep it concise (max 3–4 sentences). Add a brief specific example or favourite book/genre. Use linking words only as needed.
範例: Yes, I enjoy reading, especially books written in one language because they are easier to follow. For example, in my free time I often read contemporary fiction while lying on my bed because it helps me relax and unwind after a long day.
Do you prefer to read on paper or on a screen?
分數: 82.0建議: Good structure and clear opinion. Improve by tightening sentences, adding a linking word and a specific reason or brief contrast (one sentence) to show depth. Avoid repetition of “books” and slightly vary vocabulary.
範例: I prefer physical books because I like holding a printed copy rather than looking at a screen. Also, paper feels more comfortable and helps me concentrate, whereas screens often distract me with notifications.
When do you need to read carefully, and when not?
分數: 60.0建議: Answer is unclear and has grammatical errors and unfinished sentence. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give two contrasted examples using a linking word (e.g., "whereas") and finish both ideas. Be specific about what ‘reading carefully’ involves (taking notes, highlighting).
範例: I read carefully when the material is important, for example when studying for exams I highlight key points and take notes to remember them. Whereas for a novel or a storybook I read more casually for enjoyment and usually don’t take notes.
Do you prefer scanning or detailed reading?
分數: 70.0建議: Clear idea but watch hesitations and awkward wording. Remove filler words, correct phrasing (e.g., ‘advertisement or a newspaper’), and use linking words like ‘then’ or ‘if’ to show sequence. Give one specific example of what you look for when skimming.
範例: It depends on the situation. For instance, when I browse a newspaper I usually skim the headlines and summaries, and if an article seems important or interesting, I then read it in detail to get the full information.
× Yes, I enjoy reading, especially now it's written in single language.
✓ Yes, I enjoy reading, especially now that it is written in a single language.
Missing conjunction 'that' and incorrect phrasing 'now it's written in single language'. Use 'now that' to introduce a reason clause and include article 'a' before 'single language' to make it grammatically correct. Suggestion: say 'now that it is written in a single language' or 'now that it is available in a single language.'
× In my free time, I go through books while laying on my bed because it helps me relax.
✓ In my free time, I go through books while lying on my bed because it helps me relax.
Use 'lying' instead of 'laying'. 'Lie' (present participle lying) means to recline; 'lay' requires a direct object. Replace 'laying' with 'lying'.
× I would go with physical books because I like to have something physical rather than spending time on a digital screen.
✓ I would go with physical books because I like to have something tangible rather than spend time on a digital screen.
Use 'tangible' or 'physical' is acceptable but 'something physical' is less natural; 'spending time' after 'rather than' should be parallel: use base form 'spend' to match 'to have'. Make the verbs parallel: 'to have' ... 'rather than spend.'
× I find it comfortable and helps me to stay focused on the books.
✓ I find them comfortable and they help me stay focused on the books.
Pronoun reference and parallel structure issue: 'it' should agree with 'books' (plural) so use 'them' and add subject 'they' for the second clause. Also 'help me to stay' can be 'help me stay' for naturalness.
× Usually I go through books carefully when if there's something important, especially for when I'm studying for exams, I go through the content with the focus and care.
✓ Usually I go through books carefully when there is something important; especially when I'm studying for exams, I review the content with focus and care.
Remove redundant 'when if' and rephrase for clarity. Use 'there is' instead of contraction for formality, and 'review' is more natural than 'go through' in this context. Also restructure clauses for clarity and correct punctuation.
× But uh, instead when it's something like a storybook or a novel, I like to.
✓ But if it is something like a storybook or a novel, I prefer to read more casually.
Original sentence is incomplete ('I like to.' what?). Provide a complete verb phrase. Replace filler 'uh' and 'instead' with 'if' and specify the manner 'read more casually' to complete the sentence.
× For example, uh, when it's an advisement to order a newspaper, I like to skim through the content and if I find something important and or interesting, I like to read it in detail.
✓ For example, when it is an advertisement to order a newspaper, I like to skim through the content and if I find something important or interesting, I read it in detail.
Several issues: 'advisement' is incorrect; use 'advertisement' or 'advice' depending on meaning. Remove filler 'uh'. Use 'or' instead of 'and or'. Keep verb tense consistent: use 'read' instead of 'I like to read' for brevity and parallelism. Also 'to order a newspaper' may be unnecessary; choose correct noun 'advertisement.'
